In an adiabatic expansion of a gas, the initial and final temperatures are $T_1$ and $T_2$ respectively. Then, the change in internal energy of the gas is:
$[R = \text{gas constant}, \gamma = \text{adiabatic ratio}]$

  • A
    zero
  • B
    $\frac{nR}{\gamma-1}(T_1-T_2)$
  • C
    $\frac{nR}{\gamma-1}(T_2-T_1)$
  • D
    $nR(T_1-T_2)$
